J. i3. BLLIOTT, PIIDLiaaxa &stn PAOrRIETOP THURSDAY, JULY 25, 1907. NOTES AND COMMENTS. The Ontario department of agriculture has sent out oiranlare to cheese makers lnstruoting them in two or three ways how to use up all their milk without working on Sunday. The oheede mak- ers claimed that the new Lord's Day Act, in oompelling them to quit work on Sunday would entail a great financial loss. The department claims they can both observe the Sabbath and avoid lose. The farmer, if he oniy knew it, is a little nearer heaven than anyone else on earth. He is certain of 3 egnare meals a day and is the only man who can fence himself in and live in spite of the rest of mankind. A few cattle and sheep and fowl provide him with food and clothing, while his fields yield him flour and a source of revenue. So gen. crows are these provisions and so com- mon, that hardly one farmer in ten takes an account of them although the ordin- ary business man thinks_ he has done welt when he reaches the end of a year and finds that he has a Little more than made ends meet, There is no apparent reason why there should be Dominion elections either this year or next; and we are sure that the public would be very well content to have the present Parliament live out its fall term of five years. The power to consult the people without delay, in great emergencies, is a precious consti- tutional right which is not to be fore- gone; but with these exceptions it would be to the country's advantage i1 our Gov- ernments, Local and Federal, would fil_ out the terms for which they were elect. ed, and then go to the electors for judgment on their own record. Sadden dissolutions and short campaigns do not permit the thorough discussion of public affairs which [should precede the casting of the ballots.-Winnireg Free Press. A writer in The Canadian Courier questions whether there is any basis for the common belief that the public men of the confederation era outranked those of the present day in charaoter and abil- ity, "Sir John Macdonald," says this writer, "was an astute politician and a successful leader; bat was he any better on these lines than Sir Wilfrid Laurier? Sir John was a nation -builder, and he Dame at an opportune moment. Sir Wilfrid Laurier is a nation -cementer, nud his coming was quite as opportune. Sir Charles Tapper was another of the giants that lived in those days.' He was and is a man of unlimited pluck, of tremendous energy, of mighty driving - power; but we have seen him in action and we have measured him with men of later day, and it would be the purest hypoorisy to pretend that we think him far superior to these men who overcame him at his lifelong game. Some of the lesser 'giants' we knew, too; as, for instance, Hon. Wm. McDougall, Sir Hector Langevin, Hon, Peter Mitchell. Were they not at least quite as human as the men who have succeeded them? The troth is that we have always had some genuinely big men in Canada; and that any glance back over a long period seems to show a great many more of them than arca visible in the contempor- ary field at any given moment. But it is doubtful whether we had more big man at Confederation than we have today." Complicated Liver Troubles Mr, John Wilson, carpenter, Welland, Ont., writes: -"Some years ago I was attacked with kidney trouble, and I be- came so run down and emaciated that my entire appearance was suggestive of physical decline. Aa time went on the bomplaint grew worse and became eom- plieated with liver trouble. I had bad pains acmes the back and ups the spinal column, had bad dpclle with my heart, pain under the right shoulder, bilious headache about half the time, indigee- tlon, fever, and reatiea nese at night, and depreeeion of spirits.

CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES. [Philadelphia Ledger,) If it were possible to express within a piaglo phrase the thought of the average citizen of the United States concerning our great Canadian neighbor, it would imply a certain aneount of ignorance and indifference. There has not been anyone in this country within more than a gener- ation who seriously retained the notion that need to be prevalent that Canada's "manifest destiny" was absorptiou into the United States, The feeling that, at any rate, Canada was economically de- pendent upon ns has been less easy to dispel, and it is only within comparative- ly recent times that the consciousness has been absorbed by the mass of the American people that a great community was growing up beside us, not wholly indifferent yet fully able to get along without help from us. Perhaps the one fact that has helped to drive this fact home is the realization that Canada is no longer looking to Washington for reciprocity and the next stage in the process will be the further education of the American people. They will have to learn to appreciate the mag- nitude of the opportunity that was lost in the past when the door for oloser com- mercial relations was deliberately oloeed by their representatives, and they will also come to realize that if there are to be any more intimate exchanges in the future the overtures are just as likely to come from this side of the border as from the other. Wise Canadian statesmen realize juin as perfectly as do our own that the destinies of the two English- speaking people who occupy the greater part of the North American continent are so closely related that it is of the ut- most consequence that misunderstand- ings and friction shall not arise. Factory Wage and Product. Mr. Archibald Blue, chief of the Sta- tistical Bureau, recently issued the final bulletin dealing with the regent census of Canadian manufacturers, It gives the number of wage-earners in and amount paid for salaries to all classes in manufacturing establishments of Cana- da, in the calender years 1900 and 1905, as shown by the census of 1901 and 1900. In the tabulated statements issued em- ployes and wages are given only where there are three or more works of each kind of industries. Where there are less than three figures they are grouped under the head of all other industries. The number of employes includes offi- cers, clerks, workers, etc., who are paid salaries or wages for service. In the five years the number of employes in- creased by 47,452, the amount of wages by $51,145,140, and the average wage per employe by 490.74. Employes in- creased in the five years by 12 per cent., total wages by 45 per cent., and average wage per employe by 27 per cent. The rains of product per employe in the year 1900 was $1,398, and in 1905 it was $1,832, being an inceease ief $434, or 31 per cent. For 1890 the average wage per employe was less than in 1905 by $128 66, and the average product less 4477. The total number of wage-earners in 1900 was 344,035, and they earned in salaries and wages 4113,249,350, In 1905 the number of wage-earners had increas- ed to 391,487 and their salaries and wages to 4164,394,490. THE WINGUAM TIMES, JULY 25, 1907 Unfinished Hogs. The Wm Davies Pork Packing Co. halt issued the following letter to shippers and drovers. We publish it ou request in the hope that it will infinenoe hog raisers to bring to market only such a3 is fully prepared: Dear Sirs, -There are already sive of the marketing of light unfinished hop. We want you to take this question np right away with your drovers to be dealt with by yon and by them in a firm way when buying bogs. A dropping market, some scarcity of coarse grains, and a high price for the same, will all tend to the marketing of unfinished hogs. For these, as we have often explained to you, there is no mar- ket and they are handled ata heavy loss. We have made up one miud that the farmere must hear this loss or the dro- ver, if he fails to refuse to take this stuff off the farmer's hence. To this end, will you please watch carefully the sorting of every deck of hogs, Begin with a cut of 50 per cent. and if this does not stop them raise it to 41 per cwt. At wnatever cost, we must stop the marketing of this nrfiniehed stuff. For The Warm Weather. Do not be afraid of the night air in your sleeping rooms; night air is all the air one can get a'ter dusk until dawn, and should be admitted freely. The bed should not stand directly in a draught, nor should the wind be allow- ed to blow but the window should be left open, and the doors should not be shut. Do not negleot to sun and air the bedding often and do not be in a hurry to make np the beds of a morning. Teach your family to throw back the covers and shake the pillows, opening doors and windows as practicable, and in this way allow the escape of as much of the impure air es possible. A good plan is to keep a set of night clothes to be used In the bed, taking off everything worn during the day, and hanging over chairs or rods to thoroughly air and dry during the night. If possible to do so and with most of ns it can be done, take at least a sponge bath or a 'rub down' with a towel every night before going to bed. Onoe having established this habit it will be hard to break off. QUIBS OF CHARACTER. Poet mortem kindness brings no cheer. There's no market for unkind feelings.

Many,:people who have suffered with catarrh for years naturally think they cannot be cured, and become discour- aged. The reason they have failed of ours is because they have not treated the disease with the local remedy. Hy -o - mei, which is breathed through a neat pocket inhaler so that its healing medi- cated air reaches the most remote air - cells, kills all catarrh germs and restores the mucous membrane of the nose, throat and lungs to a healthy condition. Catarrh is really a local disease and to cure it, it must be treated by a remedy wbieh reaches every spot in the nose and throat where the disease germs lodge. Heeo-mei does this and gives relief from the first day's use. A complete Hiecemei outfit coats but $1.00 and Walton McKibbon gives a guarantee with every package to refund the money unless it cures. Dog Hated Babies. I owned a blank and tan terrier from 1874 to 1881. I received him when quite a poppy, and he was with me through part of my university and the whole of my seminary terms. Ia 1880 I martial and in 1881 my firet child was born. The first time she was brought down into the sitting -room, I, like a proud father, took the little one in meearms. TI e Po; came in and expressed his jealousy by a series of growls and an attempt to get at;the child by jumping. I gave him a hint with my foot and he walked out of the house. We saw nothing of him for over three months. One day while walking near the outer part of the town we saw old Croaker, as we called him. He took no notice of us, but walked straight to a place where there was a trim -looking garden and a neat - looking house. Upon inquiry we found that it was inhabited by two elderly spinster sisters. The dog had gone to to them and could not be induced to leave. He was determined to avoid a similar danger in the future -Chicago Tribune. THE LOSER. [Exchange] Yon want to marry Jennie, Jim? Oh, well, I knew 'twould come, She loves you? Well if that's the case, I wouldn't raise a thumb To try and atop the weddin', Jim, An' keep you two apart, But when you take her, Jim, I fear You'll break an old man's heart. That little girl is all I've got, She's all I live for, boy; Still, I can't kick -she's give me now 'Most twenty year's of joy. Yon see, we lost her mother, Jim, When Jen was ten years old; That baby was my all in all, She's been as good as gold. I know Missouri's not so far, I know that now an' then I'll have a chance to visit yon An' see my little Jen. Oh yes, I know you'll care for her, An' treat my baby fine; But, Jim, things won't he just the same -- She'll be all yours, not mine. Go on an' take her, Jim, my boy, I knew'twould come some day; The very best of friends must part, It's &Nays been that way. Ezctae me if my eyes are moist, Those tears Were bound to start; It's human nature, Jim, not yon, That's burstin' say old heart, Marriage Espousal. Careful observation, extending over a period Of tort* -two years and supple- mented by thousands of interviews with storekeepers, hairdressers, mo- distes, milliners, collectors and others, leads us to believe that the average cost of a brides trousseau hi this cozen• try --taking the rich with the poor --le the sum of $O&38. 1Dqually careful ob- 6ervatlon courinte6 ria that the *v. eiage coat of * bridegroom's sartorial outfit is slightly leas than otte-thtrd that anioetnt, or, to be etactr #22.01.

Try washing the hands in mustard water to remove nnpleaaant odors, such as onions or fish. When the hands are sore and blistered waste them in fresh buttermilk and al- low it to dry on the skin, as it aids in whitening it, A good idea is to keep a wet sponge in the cabinet with, ivory curios or carvings. It will provide moisture that prevents oraoking from heat. A wooden spoon should be dipped in boiling water immediately before using. This will preveat disooloration and ab- sorbing of fiavore. Chemists claim that it takes more than twice as much sager to sweeten preserves, sauces, eta., if put in when they begin to cook as it does to sweeten after the fruit is cooked. To clean a carpet without taking it up nee a cup half full of cornmeal mixed with salt and sweep well. Then use ox gall or ammonia. Both are good things to make the carpet as bright as new. As a gaard against accident, when a valuable vase is filled with fingers, it should first be filled with sand, over which the water should be paned. This' will keep the vase from toppling over, by adding to its weight. When ante are troublesome sp:lnkle sugar through a ;small piece of sponge and leave these about the pantry shelves. In a short time the ants will be holding a high carnival. Plunge the sponges in boiling water and set again. Wash new glasses for the first time in cold water; this will give them a bright- er look than if hat water is used. Glasses that have been used for milk should also first be washed in cold water or they are apt to look cloudy when dried. Was Weak and Rllfl Down WOULD VERY OFTEN FAINT AWAY Mrs. J. H. Armstrong, Port Elmsley, Ont., tells of her experience with MILBURN'S HEART AND NERVE PILLS. She writes : "It is with gratitude I tell how your Heart and Nerve Pills benefitted me. "I was very weak and run down, had headaches nearly every day and very often would faint away, in fact,' my doctoi said that sometime I -would never come out of the faint. It was through one of your travelling agents that I was induced to try Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills and after taking three boxes I am glad to relate it has been a number of years since I had a fainting spell and scarcely aver have a headache. Too much cannot be said in praise of Mil - burn's Heart and Nerve Pills, for in me they have effected a perfect euro." Price 50 cents per box or 3 boxes for 41.25, at alt dealers, or The T.

For set , tain work it is desirable to have a, three-foot rod. As a rule the Iov'l pressure obtained by the knapsack: pump results in an inferior job of l spraying, though with a strictly first; class vermorel nozzle this is not ne- cessarily so. It is possible to apply small quan tities of spray on a few plants -in a' small garden, for instance -with a garden syringe. Most of these syringes. however, do not give a sufficiently; fine spray to be satisfactory. These expedients, however, are now sup- planted by the bucket pump, which meets the requirements of the garden and other small operations. Several different forms are on the market, made by different manufacturers, and some of them are very efficient. In a few eases these pumps are supplied already mounted in a galvanized iron. bucket. but usually the pump is in- serted into a wooden bucket contain- ing the spray, as here shown. To do good work the bucket pump is usual- ly more easily operated by two per- sons than by one. With the bucket pump good pressure can be secured, and if suitable hose and nozzles are used results entirely satisfactory are possible. The Late Spring. The delay of the warm winds, in reaching the Ontario fields, has made the question of feed on the farm a very pressing one in many cases. Al- ready many cattle are turned out to hunt what little grass they can. Hay has been a big price all year and the temptation to sell has been great. Many tons of bailed hay has gone out from sections in older On- tario that has not shipped hay for years. Millfeeds have all been dear and grain has sold at a highwater mark all the season. Consequently there was no reserve of fodder in the barns for a late spring. Cattle will thus go on to the pastures early and in not too good shape. Many dairy sections have had to buy feed and at the high prices prevailing there has been some excusefor the higher figures claimed for milk. The lesson ought to be taken in its true bearings by the farmer now. Sincenow is the seeding time and the preparations should be made to guard against a similar occurrence next year. Plant plenty of corn and roots. There is no better crop for the gen- uine Ontario farmer than the good old corn crop. It furnishes a large amount of feed per acre and when cut up or put in a silo makes big returns per acre. Make every acre of ground tell. Let no land lie idle, but make it raise the most possible. To do this, the sower must understand the wants and nature of his soil. No greenhorn can get the land to produce at its maximum. Again, the successful farmer must begin to weed out his poor animals - those that are not thrifty and highly productive In the dairy is this most' necessary, so that the profits are not curtailed by a useless cow Farming is a wide business and he who would make it pay must think out his plans in the light ofmodern knowledge and execute those plans with a precision that always wins. Rheumatism In Horse. For rheumatism in horse or mule give a drench of a pint of raw linseed oil and twenty drops of Croton oil.. When purging is over, give half an ounce of saltpeter in drinking water: three times a day. If there is fever, or the pulse is fast and full, Give 20' drop dosses of tincture of aconite in a little water every three hours.
